Dear writers,

On this page I’ll provide resources for writers trying to publish their short stories, find an agent, or place a novel with a publisher.  It took an embarrassing number of attempts to find the publisher for my novel, so I thought it might be helpful to other beginning writers to compile some of the resources I drew from to get Random House to take pity on me.  While I was writing and selling Finny, I wished that all of this information were in one place, so I’m going to do my best to accomplish that here.

Once this is up and running, I’ll be making regular updates.  If you have any questions (about how to write a query letter or where to find lists of magazines or what kind of hair product I’m using), feel free to get in touch through the email address on my contact page or through my Facebook page.  I’ll respond as soon as I can, and will post the responses I think will be useful to others.

I hope that sharing some of my experiences and the dazzling amount of blunders I’ve made will be helpful and heartening to other writers.

All best,
Justin
